• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Prepare the Brownie Layer:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Bake:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
